For a relatively new diver such as myself (roughly 250-260 logged dives and roughly 30 unlogged dives) this is a dream of mine. I love seeing the wildlife under the surface and to have something like this happen would be amazing. Oddly enough, the photographer is about to come out in me....I would rather be the one taking the pictures than the one sharing the shoulder with the sea lion. This way you can capture it as you remember it, not as was happening behind you or out of your sight.
It would be incredible. I have dove with sharks, medium sized and small; I have dove with rays and turles but nothing really more "exciting" than that. For me, every dive is exciting but to dive with a sea lion or a dolphin or a whale or a large shark or.....the list goes on for a while so I will stop.....would be amazing and considered part of a dream. Broader travel is on our horizons, so these will happen. Unfortunately for me, I want them all to happen NOW, so the waiting will be painful. Too bad for me eh? I am sure everyone out there feels just terrible for me.
Anyways, I saw this (to give them credit and not me it was on this wesite) and I just really wanted to share it.
